Using firebug I spotted this css for the label tag (Django 1.2
installation, might be different in more recent versions):
.aligned label {
display: block;
float: left;
padding: 3px 10px 0 0;
width: 8em;
}
So, you would probably want to override that (the width, especially)
in a custom css file. The documentation should contain the details of
how to do that.
